| Accommodation Resource | Accommodation Estimate | Accommodation on St. Vincent and on Bequia is quite affordable. Plan on $100/night as a general budget and we'll do more specific research a little later. That estimate should be high, but plan for it just in case. | $0.00 | ||||
| General Info | Approx Cost - email Mar 19 2017 | $0.00 | I just got a question about budget for the Bequia trip. Unless things change dramatically between now and next February, your basic costs should be: - Approx $1300 for flights - Approx $100/night for accommodation (I think we can do better, but I'm estimating high to be on the safe side) Most of the activities I've chosen would be cheap or free, except for two: - Hike La Soufriere (volcano) - about $85/ea - Friendship Rose sail and snorkel to Tobago Cays - about $230/ea Meals, taxis and local transit are, generally speaking, very affordable. Just to be on the safe side, I'd plan another $100/day for \"mad money\". So, foregoing the \"expensive\" activities, and assuming a 10-day trip, you should plan for a $3300 trip. I'm pretty sure you'd come home with money left over, but I don't want to under-estimate. We can choose our exact dates and start booking flights and accommodations later this year. I just wanted to get this information out there to help you with saving and planning. | ||||
